Suppose a nuclear power plant disaster occurs. How could GDP be a "false beacon" in this case?

Answer:

[tex]x = 2\\ \\x= -\dfrac 78[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]~~~~~~~8x^2 -9x -14=0\\\\\implies 8x^2+7x-16x-14=0\\\\\implies x(8x+7)-2(8x+7)=0\\\\\implies (x-2)(8x+7) = 0\\\\\implies x = 2,~ x= -\dfrac 78[/tex]

Answer:

The definition for the given piecewise-defined function is:   [tex]\boxed{\displaystyle\sf\ Option\:D:\:\: f(x) = \begin{cases}\displaystyle\sf\ x + 2 & \sf\:{if\:\:x \leq -1} \\\displaystyle\sf\ 2x + 4 & \sf\:{if\:\:x > -1}\end{cases}}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

A piecewise-defined function represents specific rules over different intervals of the domain.  

Open interval: This means that the endpoint is not included in the interval.

We can use the following symbols to indicate the exclusion of endpoints in the interval:

Closed interval: This implies the inclusion of endpoints in the interval.

We can use the following symbols to indicate the inclusion of endpoints in the interval:

The best way to determine which piecewise-defined function represents the graph is by observing the endpoints and orientation of both partial lines.

Based on our observations from the previous step, we can infer that x > -1 or x ≤ -1 apply to piecewise-defined functions A or D. However, only one of those two options represent the graph.

    [tex]\boxed{\displaystyle\sf Option\:A)\:\:\:f(x) = \begin{cases}\displaystyle\sf\ 2x + 2 & \sf\:{if\:\:x \leq -1} \\\displaystyle\sf\ x + 4 & \sf\:{if\:\:x > -1}\end{cases}}[/tex]

We must choose a domain value that falls within the interval of x ≤ -1 whose output is included is included in the graph of the partial line with a closed dot.

Substitute x = -2 into f(x) = 2x + 2:  

⇒ The output value of f(-2) = -2 is not included in the graph of the partial line whose endpoint is at (-1, 1).

We must choose a domain value that falls within the interval of x > -1 whose output is included in the graph of the partial line with an open dot.

Substitute x = 0 into  f(x) = x + 4:

⇒ The output value of f(0) = 4 is included in the graph of the partial line whose endpoint is at (-1, 2).

Conclusion for Option A:

Option A is not the correct piecewise-defined function because one of the pieces, f(x) = 2x + 2, does not specify the interval (-∞, -1].

    [tex]\boxed{\displaystyle\sf Option\:D)\:\:\:f(x) = \begin{cases}\displaystyle\sf\ x + 2 & \sf\:{if\:\:x \leq -1} \\\displaystyle\sf\ 2x + 4 & \sf\:{if\:\:x > -1}\end{cases}}[/tex]

We must choose a domain value that falls within the interval of x ≤ -1 whose output is included is included in the graph of the partial line with a closed dot.

Substitute x = -2 into f(x) = x + 2:

⇒ The output value of f(-2) = 0 is included the graph of the partial line whose endpoint is at (-1, 1).

We must choose a domain value that falls within the interval of x > -1 whose output is included is included in the graph of the partial line with an open dot.

Substitute x = 0 into f(x) = 2x + 4:

⇒ The output value of f(0) = 4 is included in the graph of the partial line whose endpoint is at (-1, 2).  

We can infer that the piecewise-defined function that represents the graph is:

[tex]\boxed{\displaystyle\sf\ Option\:D:\:\: f(x) = \begin{cases}\displaystyle\sf\ x + 2 & \sf\:{if\:\:x \leq -1} \\\displaystyle\sf\ 2x + 4 & \sf\:{if\:\:x > -1}\end{cases}}[/tex].

The system of equations has the solution:

x = 111/42

y = 27/14

z = -15/6

We start with 3 linear equations:

2x+y-z=8

x+4y+z=7

-3x+2y-3z=21

To solve this, first we need to isolate one of the variables. I will isolate x on the second one:

x = 7 - 4y - z

Now we can replace that in the other two:

2*( 7 - 4y - z) + y - z = 8

-3*(7 - 4y - z) + 2y - 3z = 21

Now we need to isolate other variable, let's isolate y on the above one:

14 - 8y - 2z + y - z = 8

-7y - 3z = 8 - 14 = -6

z = (-6 + 7y)/-3 = 2 - (7/3)*y

Now we replace this on the last equation:

-21 + 12y -3z + 2y - 3z = 21

14y - 6z = 42

14y - 6*(2 - (7/3)*y) = 42

14y - 12 + 14y = 42

28y = 42 + 12 = 54

y = 54/28 = 27/14

Now that we know the value of y, we can find the value of z:

z = 2 - (7/3)*y = 2 - (7/3)*27/14 = 2 - 27/6 = -15/6

And the value of x:

x = 7 - 4y - z = 7 - 4*(27/14) + 15/6 = 7 - 48/7 + 15/6 = 111/42

So the solution is:

x = 111/42

y = 27/14

z = -15/6

Answer:

126.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

N(t) = 384(1.13)^t

2,000,000,000 = 384(1.13)^t

(1.13)^t = 2,000,000,000/384

log [(1.13)^t) = log (2,000,000,000/384)

t × log 1.13 = log (2,000,000,000/384)

t = [log (2,000,000,000/384)]/(log 1.13)

t = 126.5

Answer:

longer leg: 20 in

shorter leg: 15 in

hypotenuse: 25 in

Formulas:

Pythagorean Theorem

[tex]c^2 = a^2 + b^2[/tex]

c ... hypotenuse

a ... one leg

b ... another leg

Pythagorean theorem is used in right triangles (triangles in which one angle is 90°).

Step-by-step explanation:

longer leg: x

shorter leg: x - 5

hypotenuse: x + 5

To find x (longer leg), let's use Pythagorean theorem.

[tex]c^2 = a^2 + b^2\\(x+5)^2 = x^2 + (x-5)^2\\x^2 + 10x + 25= x^2 + x^2 -10x + 25\\x^2 + 10x = 2x^2 - 10x\\0 = x^2 - 20x[/tex]

Now let's factorize to get solutions for x.

[tex]0 = x(x-20)[/tex]

First solution:

[tex]x = 0[/tex]

Second solution:

[tex]x - 20 = 0\\x = 20[/tex]

Since a side of a triangle has to be a positive number, x is equal to 20.

Now let's just substitute x back to get side lengths. From the question the lengths are in inches.

longer leg: x = 20 in

shorter leg: x - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15 in

hypotenuse: x + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 in

We want the relative frequency of the purple candies.

There are 16 purple out of 18+20+10+16 = 64 total

Divide the values to get 16/64 = 0.25

Exactly 25% of the candies are purple. This converts to the fraction 1/4.

The correct answer is 25%

First calculate the the total number of frequency

18+20+10+16

= 64

The total number of frequency is 64

Hence the relative frequency of purple is 16/64

Therefore , relative frequency of purple is 1/4 = 0.25

The amount of ingredients necessary to serve 5 people is 3.75 cups spaghetti sauce, 2.5 cups ricotta cheese, and 2.5 cups mozzarella cheese.

It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.

We have:

A recipe for 8 servings lists: 6 cups spaghetti sauce 4 cups ricotta cheese and 4 cups mozzarella cheese.

First we take the ratio of ingredients for 8 servings:

spaghetti sauce : ricotta cheese : mozzarella cheese = 6:4:4

The ratio of ingredients for 1 servings:

spaghetti sauce : ricotta cheese : mozzarella cheese = 6/8 : 4/8 : 4/8

The ratio of ingredients for 5 servings:

The rule for the linear function that describes the length of the vine is L = 1.3 + 0.2d

The number of days it would take the vine to grow to be 10.3 inches long is 45 days

From the question, we are to determine a linear function that describes the situation

From the given information,

Then vine is 1.3 inches long now

and it grows 0.2 inches a day

∴ After the days, the vine will increase by 0.2d in length

Then,

If L represents the length of the vine, d represent the number of days

The length of the vine after d number of days will be

L = 1.3 + 0.2d

Hence, the rule for the linear function that describes the length of the vine is L = 1.3 + 0.2d

Now, we are to determining the number of days it will take the vine to grow to be 10.3 inches long

Using the above linear function

L = 1.3 + 0.2d

10.3 = 1.3 + 0.2d  

0.2d = 10.3 - 1.3

0.2d = 9

d = 9 / 0.2

d = 45
